Hey Y'all, I am mostly an upright player these days and happy to get some work with the electric. I am trying out the Maxon ad999 delay pedal with the Pedal Power 2+. My question before I blow anything up is does the Ad999 power into any of the inputs in the PP2+ with standard cable and 'at...

Wow, beautiful. Reading and seeing the pics made my day. Thanks! Joanne

After another ridiculous conversation with yet another club owner who told me his also ridiculous pay policy for the bands (some elaborate system where the band was offered a small percentage of the bar unless the bar-take was less than $1,000 in 4 hours in which case, the money would be...

Lord have mercy - beautiful. But she probably needs a bit more furious bowing to really get the sounds out - send it right over and I would be happy to oblige. ; ) Enjoy. Joanne
